Relying on Starship as a moon lander is one of the most hare brained decisions of NASA in recent years. OTOH, it would be perfectly feasible to get a moon mission going using Falcon 9 as the launch vehicle.

That's why getting to the moon permanently is so important. Once we get in situ resource utilisation going, the rest of the solar system becomes much more accessible.

I hear life in South Korea is pretty bleak these days. But is it really worse than a North Korean gulag?

We reached Mars with probes 50 years ago. I'm not in any way trying to denigrate the amazing achievements of the Mars rovers. But the fact remains that a human crew could have done all that and more (like drill a hole) in a few weeks at best.

Mint. Takes half an hour to install and set up. Doesn't get in the way after that.

And fifty years later we still mope around in low earth orbit. Progress has slowed down a lot since the billionaires took over.

Their goal is to induce you into their abusive cult where they'll take control of your life. These are not harmless or well meaning people.

I was in the same unit as some guys from my high school during my time as a conscript in the German army. Since then I've literally only ever met one of them briefly, thirty years ago. Apart from that I've had zero contact with anyone I've gone to school with.

Because they're too scared of him to do anything. Also, they're part of a gangster syndicate so they accept this sort of thing as normal business. There will come a point when it gets too much, but I don't think we're there yet. And when it does happen, it'll be fast and nobody will have seen it coming. Although many will claim to have done so after the fact.

Yay! It's the year of the Linux desktop!

There are no civilians when profit is involved.

It's the American way! He has a Mexican sounding name after all!

So? How was it?

They're scared they'll go down with him. But they'll finally have to accept the fact that they're fucked either way. At this point, getting rid of him is their best chance.

I'm still waiting for these fuckers to finally grow some balls.

If you don't compile everything from source, you may as well get a Chromebook!
